[DAS2] DAS/2 writeback

[Helt,Gregg]

Things are getting stranger.  I'm trying to writeback annotations on
chr21, and they seem to succeed, returning me an id mapping document.
But once I've sent the annotations to the server, then try to retrieve
them, I can't always see them from the human source.  But I can see them
from the yeast source.  This is easiest to see with a simple query to
get all features.  A query to the yeast writeback source to get all
features:
http://das.biopackages.net/das/genome/yeast/S228C-writeback/feature

currently returns 30 features (top-level and children), including the
ones I've added on chr21.

However a query to the human writeback source for all features:
http://das.biopackages.net/das/genome/human/writeback/feature

currently returns only 9 features (top-level and children), all on chrI.

Furthermore, if I restrict my human query with a region filter:
http://das.biopackages.net/das/genome/human/writeback/feature?overlaps=c
hr21/0:46944323

I _do_ get back the 5 top-level "centromere" annotations I've added to
chr21, and their children.  But if I then add a type filter:
http://das.biopackages.net/das/genome/human/writeback/feature?overlaps=c
hr21/0:46944323;type=SO:centromere

I only get back 1 top-level "centromere" feature and it's children.

I'm not sure what it all means, but I'm hoping the results above may
help diagnose the problem.

	Thanks,
	Gregg
